EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS June 1960 THE MONTHLY REPQRT ON THE LABOR FORCE: JUNE I960 The June employment picture was dominated by a record influx of youngsters into the labor force, boosting both the employed and unemployed totals. About 2. 2 million teenagers--substantially more than in recent years--were added to the labor force in June with the ending of school terms. Because the survey week was later this June than in previous years, more youngsters were already out of school and in the labor market. Total unemployment rose by 1 million over the month--well above seasonal expectations--to 4.4 million in June. As a result, the seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment rose to 5. 5 percent from 4. 9 percent the month before. Eight hundred thousand of the June increase in unemployment was made up of persons under 20 years of age, and another 100,000 were 20 to 24 years old. State insured unemployment, which does not include new jobseekers, fell seasonally by 130,000 to 1. 6 million in mid-June. Long-term unemployment (15 weeks or more) dropped seasonally by 100, 000 over the month. At the same time that unemployment was increasing, total employment rose-by 1. 4 million over the month--to an all-time record of 68. 6 million, about 1 million higher than a year ago (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). One million of the total May to June increase was in agricultural employment; the rest of the increase was primarily in outdoor and other seasonally expanding activities. Nonfarm Payroll Employment Changes in nonfarm employment were mainly seasonal between May and June, except in the steel industry, where layoffs were reported for the fourth successive month. The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 270, 000 over the month to 53. 5 million in June with increases of about 140,000 in the construction industry and about 70, 000 in trade. Somewhat smaller increases occurred in food processing, lumbering, finance, and services. The largest decline, 60,000 government workers, reflected the customary termination of some jobs in public school systems at this time of year, and further releases of employees engaged temporarily for the I960 Census. Factory employment rose by 35,000 over the month to 16.4 million in June, The increase was held down to less than the usual amount by a cutback of 25, 000 workers in primary metals (where employment usually rises by a small amount this month) and a drop of 45, 000 in transportation equipment. The latter resulted mainly from a strike at some aircraft plants, but there was also a continuation of the steady decline in jobs which has been occurring in aircraft plants for the past 3 years. Over the year, the number of persons on nonfarm payrolls has increased by 630,000, with the greatest gains in State and local governments (300, 000), wholesale and retail trade (250,000), and service (120,000). On the other hand, there has been a decline of 110, 000 jobs in durable goods industries since June 1959. The sharpest declines occurred in primary metals, which was down by 90, 000 from its prestrike level of a year ago, and in transportation equipment, down 95, 000 as a result of employment cutbacks (and the strike this month) in the aircraft industry. Automobile employment continued above last year's level. iii TRENDS IN EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT Actual and Seasonally Adjusted January 1949 to Date MILLIONS OF PERSONS 70 MILLIONS OF PERSONS 70 Total Civilian Employment 68 68 66 66 SEASONALLY ADJUSTED 64 64 62 62 60 58 56 Data adjusted to new definitions adopted in January 1957 -156 4 0 Unemployment TOTAL _ ACTUAL SEASONALLY ADJUSTED Data adjusted to new definitions adopted in January 1957 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 t Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen, railroad workers (RRB) and temporary programs. (Through June 1959) Beginning in January 1960, data include Alaska and Hawaii Factory Hours and Earnings The workweek of factory production workers increased by 0. 1 hours to 40e 0 hours in June. Normally there is a somewhat larger rise this month. Hours dropped slightly in the primary metals industry instead of showing the normal rise; the workweek has declined for 5 successive months in this industry. Average overtime hours for manufacturing as a whole were unchanged over the month at 2. 4 hours, one-half hour below a year ago. Gross weekly hours were 0. 7 hours lower than June 1959. Every major industry group in the durable goods sector and most of those in nondurables reported a shorter workweek than in June 1959. Weekly earnings of factory production workers rose by 23 cents over the month to $91. 60 and hourly earnings remained unchanged at $2 0 29. Weekly earnings were 43 cents higher than a year ago on the average0 The largest difference in earnings from last year was in the primary metals industry, lower by $8. 63 per week. Labor Force The civilian labor force expanded by 2. 3 million between May and June to reach an all-time high of 73 million. A record number of young persons under 20-about 2.2 million--were added as schools ended their regular sessions. Last year, in June 1959, the teenage labor force had expanded by 1. 9 million, the biggest MayJune increase since 1948.

The even larger influx this year was the result of a greater number of teenagers in the population and an unusually late survey week. There were approximately a half million more young persons aged 14 to 19 years in the population in June I960 than a year earlier 0 It is estimated that for this reason alone the MayJune increase in the work force would have been 100,000 greater in I960 than in 1959. Moreover, the week of reference for the June survey fell at the latest Employment.

Although May-June changes were dominated by the influx of teenagers, there were also some seasonal developments in other age groups. As usual, about 300,000 20-to-24 year-olds were added to the work force, most of them presumably students or June graduates. Among adult women, about 200,000 teachers withdrew from the labor force while an equal number of temporary farm workers were added. The labor force was about 1 million larger in the second quarter of I960 (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) than a year earlier o However, there appears to have been a slowdown in the rate at which middle aged women have been entering the labor forceo The proportion of women 45 to 64 years of age in the labor force was exactly the same in the second quarter of I960 as in the second quarter of 1959, whereas it had been rising steadily prior to I960. Total Employment Total employment rose by l o 4 million to a record level of 68. 6 million in June. As usual for June, most of the increase occurred in the farm sector, where employment rose by 1. 0 million to 6. 9 million. This was a somewhat greater than normal increase for the month, and apparently reflected attempts to make up for delays caused by bad weather earlier in the year. Nevertheless, farm employment, following its long-term trend, was still 400,000 below a year agoo Total nonagricultural employment--including the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers--rose seasonally by nearly 400, 000 to 6l o 7 million in June. Persons under 25 with nonfarm jobs increased by 850,000 over the month, but the employment of adults--mostly women--fell seasonally by one-half million. About 30 percent of the 3. 7 million teenage boys employed in June were in farm worko Another 20 percent were employed as unskilled nonfarm laborers, and an equal proportion as semiskilled manual workers. The others were mainly in sales or service jobs. Among the 2. 5 million girls who were working, only 12 percent were doing farm work. About 35 percent were in service jobs (mainly for private families), and another 12 percent were salesgirls 0 Unlike the boys, however, a sizable proportion were in clerical occupations--about 30 percent altogether, and 50 percent of the 18 and 19 year olds. Part-Time Employment Some 10. 2 million nonfarm workers were on part-time workweeks in June* This was 600, 000 below May, as many students and graduates shifted from parttime to full-time work with the close of school. Although total part-time employment declined, there were increased numbers on part-time for economic re a sons o Regular full-time workers who worked less than a 35-hour workweek because of economic reasons totaled 1.4 million as compared with 1.2 million in May. However, most of the increase was accounted for by persons starting new jobs during the week; job turnover resulting in part-time workweeks is considered an economic factor in the classification of vii UNEMPLOYMENT RATES OF YOUNG WORKERS June 1956-60 20-24 Years, Female 20-24 Years, Male 14-19 Years, Both Sexes 25 25 2O 20 — I . 1—1 15 - 15 — ,—| 10 1—1 — —1 ,—1 I—| 10 — 5 5 0 0 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 TEENAGERS IN THE POPULATION AND LABOR FORCE, JUNE 1956-60 MILLIONS 9.0 MILLIONS 9.0 r FEMALE MALE 8.0 8.0 7.0 7.0 Not in Labor Fo 6.0 6.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 Not in Labor Force 3.0 30 2.0 1.0 n Labor Force 2.0 8888 1.0 0 1956 1957 1958 1959 I960 1956 1957 1958 1959 I960 Noninstitutional Population, 14 to 19 TEENAGE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION RATES, JUNE 1956-60 70 PERCENT 70 MALE 60 60 50 50 FEMALE 40 30 0 30 0 1956 1957 1958 1959 I960 1956 1957 1958 1959 I960 reasons for part-time work. Workers cut back to part time because of slack work increased by 75, 000 to 1, 025, 000. The number working at regular part-time jobs because they could not find full-time work rose sharply--by 400,000 to 1. 5 million. This total normally rises with the close of school, since some of the youngsters who enter the labor force in June are forced to accept part-time jobsG Over the year, while nonfarm employment rose by 1O4 million, (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), part-time employment increased by about 1.0 million. From June 1959, there was an increase of 1/2 million adult men 25 to 64 years old on part-time work schedules. About half of this rise reflected cutbacks from full time as a result of economic factors, with much of it concentrated among factory workers. The number of women working part time increased by 400,000 from a year earlier. In their case, most of the rise was due to their increased numbers in the work force rather than to shifts from full to part-time work; the overall proportion of women working part time increased only slightly. Total Unemployment Total unemployment rose by 1 million over the month to 4.4 million, significantly larger than the seasonally expected May-June change. Unemployment among both teenagers and adult workers rose more than seasonally. Characteristics of the Unemployed Duration of unemploymento Virtually all of the increase in the jobless total was among those seeking work less than 5 weeks. This total was boosted by 1 million to 2. 7 million in June, with the addition of large numbers of teenagers and other new entrants to the labor market. The short-term unemployed in June made up 60 percent of the jobless total. On the other hand, the number unemployed 15 weeks or longer declined by 100,000 over the month to 800,000. This long-term unemployment group was also 100,000 below a year ago, accounting for 18 percent of the total unemployed in June 1960 as compared with 23 percent in June 1959o However, the number of longterm unemployed remained 300, 000 higher than three years ago. Age, sex, and marital status. About 1. 6 million of the unemployed in June (35 percent of the total) were teenagers. This figure was about a quarter of a million higher than in June 1959, mainly the result of the larger number of young people who entered the labor force this year. The number of married men among the unemployed remained unchanged at 1. 1 million in June, instead of showing its usual moderate decline, and was 150, 000 higher than a year ago. Their unemployment rate was 3 percent this June as compared with the overall rate of 6 percent (not seasonally adjusted). Married women among the unemployed totaled 600, 000, about the same as in May 1960 and in June 1959. Industry of last job. The largest increase in unemployment over the month (500, 000) was among persons with no previous work experience. This group-mostly teenagers—totaled 1. 0 million in June I960. Another 400, 000 of the MayJune increase occurred among persons whose last job had been in service industries, trade, or agriculture. Most of these were young workers re-entering the labor force rather than workers who had lost their jobs, although the total also includes some teachers who were seeking other work for the summer. 557665 O - 60 - 2 lX There was a further seasonal improvement in construction, but the unemployment rate in that industry (8 percent) remained above that for all workers. Although there was virtually no change in unemployment for factory workers as a group, the unemployment rate in the primary metals industry climbed to 7 percent from 5 percent a month earlier 0 In June 1959, when activity was high in anticipation of the steel strike, the unemployment rate in this industry was only 3 percent.

Two groups averaging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56. 2 Not available. Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected. Data for 1960 include Alaska and Hawaii and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably changed.

Use order blank on page 9-E. INTRODUCTION hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during tb* reporting period are counted each time their names appear on payrolls. The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll reports from employers. Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor force, i.e., the total number of persons Ik years of age and over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of vork, and duration of unemployment. The information is collected by trained intervievers from a sample of about 35,000 households in 330 areas throughout the country and is based on the activity or status reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the month. Hours of Work The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In the household survey data, all persons with a Job but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period. Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Comparability of the household interview data with other series Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the household survey includes all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a Job from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing Jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size). Relation between the household and payroll series The household and payroll data supplement one another, each providing significant types of information that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from the household survey whereas detailed Industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports. Data from these two sources differ from each other because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect on levels and trends of the two series are described below: In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example, persons with a Job but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey. Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both farm and nonfarm industries is Included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments. Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under Ik In the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are counted more than once If they worked on more than one farm during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in level and trend of the two series. Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one Job are counted only once, and are classified according to the Job at which they worked the greatest number of Unpaid absences from Jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had Jobs but were not at work during the survey week--that is, were not working or looking for work but had Jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or paid holiday are included, but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll period. Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from 1-E Each employed person is counted only once. Those who held more than one job are counted in the Job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The Major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of business units considered parts of an establishment, such as central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the industrial classification of establishments due to different reporting patterns by multi-unit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, vhile these are included in BLS statistics. Included in the total are employed citixens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory farm workers). Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations. County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an establishment and in industrial classification. In addition, CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government. Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment Insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a Job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed no work was available in their line of work or in the community. Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a community in which there are only a few dominant industries which were shut down during the survey week. Not Included in this category are persons who say they were not looking for work because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way. Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the TJnemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as nonprofit organizations and Interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded in $k States. In general, these are establishments vith less than four employees. LABOR FORCE DATA The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed as* a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation groups, the labor-force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter classified according to Industry and occupation of their latest full-time civilian job. COLLECTION AND COVERAGE Statistics on the employment status of the population, the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLS on request.) Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time (through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or would have been looking for work except for temporary illness, or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment. These monthly surveys of the population are conducted vith a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian noninstltutional population 1^ years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is conducted in the following week. The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also Includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the United States or abroad. Inmates of institutions and persons under lU years of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense. The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6hl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 households. There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a nonlnterview rate for the survey of about h percent. Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a year ago. CONCEPTS Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or In their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working or looking for work but who had Jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. Not in Labor Force includes all civilians 1^ years and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the Most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force. Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the Job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more Jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is available upon request. The industrial classification system used In the Census of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey, although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from the payroll series because of differences in classification, sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures from the household' survey are used as a base for published distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other 2-E characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and occupation. mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries. The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers, "self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit. Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage. 3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which takes account of net changes from the previous month for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes but also of the levels for most items. Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the holiday. Seasonal Adjustment The seasonal adjustment method used for unemployment and other labor force series is a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the method will be published later this year. Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor force to be applied to data for 1958 and later periods are shown in table A. Factors for broad age-sex groups and for duration of unemployment categories will be included in the publication cited in the preceding paragraph. In computing these factors, the pre-1957 data were adjusted to reflect the new definitions of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957- Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these series for 1947 to date are available on request. For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job. Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time." Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at their present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason for working part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season. Table A. Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major components, to be used for the period 1958-60 Month ESTIMATING METHODS The estimating procedure is essentially one of using sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a given category. The published estimates are then obtained by multiplying these percentage distributions by independent estimates of the population. The principle steps involved are shown below. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force,employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of this statistical program. Jan... Feb... Mar... Apr... May... June.. July.. Aug... Sept.. Oct... Nov... Dec... 1. Nonlnterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no Information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups--color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc. 97.7 98.O 98.4 99.0 100.1 102.4 102.7 101.8 100.4 100.6 100.0 99.1 Unemployment Employment Total 96.9 97-0 97-7 98.6 100.1 101.8 102.4 102.3 101.2 101.8 100.5 99.4 NonagriAgricultural culindusture tries 81.3 81.8 86.2 93.6 106.0 118.2 117.9 111.1 109.9 112.0 97.4 85.O 98.6 98.7 99.0 99.2 99-5 100.0 100.7 101.3 100.2 100.7 100.9 101.0 Rate Total FeBoth Males sexes males 114.2 116.3 111.1 103.1 99-4 113.2 105.0 91.2 116.7 118.6 112.9 104.1 99-2 83.9 78.8 90.0 93.5 110.4 102.3 89-5 83.5 78.2 89.9 94.4 121.6 108.2 125.9 105.2 120.0 99.3 107.7 97.7 97-7 102.4 106.2 118.6 97.4 111.0 84.6 98.6 77.8 94.0 74.8 84.3 86.2 96.6 99-6 84.2 In evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern-that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series--it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have a broader margin of possible error than the original data on which they are based, since they are subject not only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. 2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows: Reliability of the Estimates Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures. The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error. a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas. Table B shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12 recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of change for consecutive months is also shown in table B. The standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change. b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data (1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, Civilian labor force 3-E Table B. as the standard error of the monthly l e v e l i n table D, i t may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase i s about 135,000.

They should be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for any specific item. The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table E shows the standard errors for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table E. Table E. Table C.

Federal-State Cooperation Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic comparability of estimates. k-Z State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare 1 State and area series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment Security Jointly finance the current employment statistics program in H3 States, the turnover program in 1*1 States. Labor Turnover Labor turnover reports are received from approximately 10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see table below). The following manufacturing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample: Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 1943); canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and misses1 outerwear; and fertilizer. Shuttle Schedules Approximate size and coverage of BLS labor turnover sample used in computing national rates The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, Form 1219 labor turnover data. Both schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with space for each month of the calendar year. Industry The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultur&l establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each month. The labor turnover schedule provider for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations, by type, during the calendar month. Manufacturing Durable goods Nondurable goods Metal mining Coal mining: Anthracite Bituminous Communication: Telephone Telegraph INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION Establishments are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a product supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity.

CONCEPTS Industry Employment Prior to publication of State and area data for January 1959* a ll national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (1) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security Board, 19^2. Beginning with January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958), State and area series are classified under the revised Standard Industrial Classification Manual published in 1957. The national industry statistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC early in 1961. Employment data for all except Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, current data generally refer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month. The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are shown separately, but their number is excluded from total nonagricultural employment. COVERAGE Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, are counted as employed. Persons are not counted as employed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Employment, Hours, and Earnings Monthly reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approximately 180,000 establishments. The table below shows the approximate proportion of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries within the division may vary from the proportions shown.

The comparison made for the first 3 months of 1957, the last benchmark adjustment, resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, identical with the extent of the adjustment to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were less than 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divisions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3*2, 3«3, and 6.1* percent for the remaining three divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual industries, 1*1 industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 percent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2.6-5.0 percent. One significant cause of differences between the benchmark and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other causes are sampling and response errors. Employees The basic sources of benchmark information are the quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their 1/ Since some firms do not report payroll and man-hour information, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates. 2/ State and area estimates of Federal employment are based on 2,300 reports covering 1,1*30,000 employees, collected through the BLS-State cooperative program. 5-E low-paid work and changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety of other sources. The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter (the first quarter of the year) are compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one. The new benchmark for each industry is then projected to the current month by use of the sample trends. Under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period or time, while rates are the amounts stipulated' for a given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions. Seasonal Adjustment Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism. Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived by the use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-month moving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request. Average Weekly Hours The workweek information relates to the average hours for which pay was received, and is different from standard or scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hoars to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries. Industry Hours and Earnings Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are reduced to a weekly basis. Average Overtime Hours Production and Related Workers include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product development, auxiliary production for plants own use (e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above production operations. The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for which premium payments were made. If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported. Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industry-group level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same Influence on overtime hours as on gross hours. Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed. Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, and union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. Spendable Average Weekly Earnings Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for two types of Income receivers—a worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents. The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings for all production and related workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construction without regard to marital status, family composition, or total family income. Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm. "Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-^9 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period. Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded. Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total productionworker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^0). Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and 6-E holiday vork, late-shift vork, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days. Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll including both nev and rehired employees. The indexes of aggregate veekly payrolls and nan-hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 19^7-^9 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average veekly hours and production-worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross average veekly earnings and production-worker employment. Nev hires are temporary or permanent additions to the employment roll of former employees not recalled by the employer, or persons vho have never before been employed in the establishment, except for those transferred from other establishments of the company. Railroad Hours and Earnings The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees vho received pay during the month except executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I ) . Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation, by total hours paid for. Average veekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a veekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average veekly earnings are derived by multiplying average veekly hours by average hourly earnings. Other accessions, which are not published separately but are Included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment roll which are not classified as nev hires. Comparability With Employment Series Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable vlth the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; (2) the turnover sample excludes certain industries (see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not included in the turnover computations beginning vith the month the strike starts through the month the vorkers return; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures. Labor Turnover Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary vorkers into and out of employment status vith respect to Individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided into tvo broad types: Accessions (nev hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another establishment of the company are included beginning with January 1959. STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined below. State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation vith BLS. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover. These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals because of differences in the timing of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods of computation, and, since January 1959, a different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E.) Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days. For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employment estimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totals without Alaska and Hawaii'from the totals including the 2 new States. ESTIMATING METHODS Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer vithout prejudice to the worker. The procedures used for estimating industry employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics are summarized in the following table. Details are given in the appropriate technical notes, which are available on request.
